And 3.5' screen is not widescreen looser
My 5800 which is 3.2' plays back the widescreen ratio which is 16:9 so who got lied too.....you and the millions of people that thought the iphone has the widescreen ratio

well......iphone really sucks so dont even try comparing with n900.
iphone is jus a fad....tats why sales went up...but now ppl have realisd this...tats its nothing more than sensitve touch screen which feels good for couple of days....after than comes to functionality where iphone fails..so all those tech geeks and sensible guys out thr..go for n900

samK, 01 Dec 2009So you're saying just because I use an iPhone I'm automatically an Apple fan boy? I only use W... moreYou seem like a fanboy, 'cause you have nothing critical to say about the iPhone. And the iPhone is not all good, there's a lot of drawbacks as well.

Im one of those people who has tried iPhone, but are not convinced. I havent purchased it, just tried friends, and demo phones in stores.

Sure, its responsive, but so is Samsung Jet, and Omnia II... and Omnia HD (though that use capacative screen as well).
The OS is quite easy to use, better than Nokia S60, better than standard Android and standard WinMob 6.1 and WinMob 6.5.
But for me, features are more important than the slight advantage in terms of usability.
And Multitasking, at this point one of the most important features missing from iPhone... if they solve this, more people out there will se iPhone as a true smartphone... but there are some other things missing in the software.. delivery report... file manager... bluetooth transfer...
And in terms of hardware... camera light, better camera, better video-recording, standard USB-port, better resolution in display...
And then, the problems, that probably will never be solved... iTunes, and the locking. cause there are some softwares that you cant get leagally...

So a person that is 100% positive to his/her iphone, done come across as anything else than fanboys, in a technical forum like this.

Anonymous, 01 Dec 2009can't understand why ppl like u always say iphone is for kids. Where I live at least 30% of i... moreMy women friend prefer resistiv displays, cause they can use them despite having long nails. They dont care if they have multitouch or not. And since I live in sweden, where its a bit cold in the winter, many women wear gloves, and want to be able to answer calls and read sms without having to remove their gloves.

With samsung Jet and Omnia II samsung has proved that sensitivity is not an issue.

Anonymous, 01 Dec 2009iphone can do one simple thing none of your almighty brand phones can....charge by USB! Don't... morethat is uncorrect, there is an USB charger for Nokia phones that does not charge off the USB-port. Its an USB connector at one end, and nokia charger plug at the other end. So what you mean is that it does not charge over the data-cable.

And Apples solution for charging with USB sucks, since its not an standard USB-port. No where near the solution Motorola has had for years.

Charging via datacable is not all good.When the device use a mini or micro USB-port, you are more likely to stumble across a charger or USB cable, when you dont have your own with you. Thats very practial, indeed.
But, charging the phone everytime you connect it to the computer is not that good. It will strain you battery, and its lifetime will be shortened (unless you only connect your phone when the battery is low and you need to charge the device, anyway).
The only solution for this is not that practial, it would be to have 2 usb-ports on the device, one which is used for charging and/or data-transfer, and one only for data-transfer. So I guess the best compromise is the solution used by most manufactors today, a mini or micro USB-port... its even about to become a standard.
But Apple has yet to implement this.
So in the end, Apples solution is not at all better than nokias, on those phones.
(now many nokias charge with USB-connector, and the N900 is one of them)

Quoting: 'A lucky fella has managed to make his Nokia N900 work in landscape mode by accident involving a software glitch.'
How lucky one has to be to make a Nokia N900 work in LANDSCAPE mode? Friends i'm sure this is your lucky day. Try it.

I'm sorry but iphone has never offered me anything but some nice games and smoothness. And by smoothness I mean nice transitions and effects on the interface, not quick responsivness as I would have liked.

Why iPhone users keep disturbing other forums I don't understand. Maybe it's a phone mostly used by kids that have plenty of time.

"widescreen ipod " with widescreen playback........what a lie it can't even support the proper resolution
And no flash support or LED lights for the camera
Pre is obviously surpassing iphone hardware wise and honestly,who cares about thousands of apps when the phone is already filled with the basics that the iphone lacks
And takes 2.5 years to get
My 6270 has flash Single LED and is loud as hell
And it sports a 2mp camera like iphone....and runs s40 and is still better then iphone aswell"
------------------------------------
You are a hilarious f-o-o-l. Where did you get the 90% figure? From yourself? Multi-touch is used very often in the Safari app, Photo app and games. More like 90% use multi-touch. Also if your sensible like me, you don't use google maps, you use Navigon, TomTom, etc from the app store. With the copy and paste, the 3.0 software has it and if 90% of people don't know how to copy and paste then that must meet 90% don't need it. Stop making up your own figures.

You obviously are uneducated. The keyword in "widescreen iPod" is "iPod". It is the iPod with the widest screen. Pre hardware suparssing the iPhone? Haha... f-o-o-l. Since when? The hardware on the Pre is almost the same as the 3GS apart from the led flash on camera. The 3GS on the other hand has the necessary feature, it's called autofocus. Who cares about the flash if it doesn't have autofocus. Same can be said to your inferior 6270. Have you used an iPhone before?? I have a Nokia s40 device, the 6288 and the UI is rubbish compared to the iPhone's.

Anonymous, 30 Nov 2009You're N82 does not even come close to the iphone sale figures, so please. Sales figures mesn nothing man
I can sell millions of wicked nice looking cars and the other guys can sell a few which are better equipt
Does that mean the wicked car is good.....No it means they can sell it like water through a fishes gill
Cause everyone wants it and got lied to and marketed by that company or person

[deleted post]So you're saying just because I use an iPhone I'm automatically an Apple fan boy? I only use Windows as an operating system. Gee I'm sorry. I guess I'm both an Apple and a Windows fan boy. The reason I stated that was because of people that stereotype just like you. I'm not trying to be bias but people like you make it bias. Just because I own something doesn't mean I'm a "fan boy." So go laugh at the real "fan boys" that wait in line for products. Otherwise reread my comment and realize what I'm trying to say before you laugh your ass off out of your stupidity. From what I see, you don't even own an iPhone otherwise you wouldn't be laughing to begin with unless you're a hypocrite.

Back on topic, my best friend refused to get an iPhone even though he liked it just because of it's insane popularity. Instead he decided to get the N900. As you can see, iPhone isn't just an overhyped phone.
